(3) Only persons of age are entitled to place orders. Upon our request, you are obliged to provide us with a copy of your personal identification card.

You will have to compensate us to the extent you are not able to return the goods or any part thereof, or to the extent the goods to be returned by you have deteriorated. You are under no obligation to compensate us if the deterioration results from an examination of the product such as it could also have been performed in a store only.

Shipping and handling charges may apply except where prohibited by applicable law or unless otherwise expressly indicated at the time of sale.
